“For me, it’s all about maintaining the highest standards”

Having been part of the Sutcliffe family since 1989, I’ve had the privilege of seeing Sutcliffe grow into a leading consultancy in the North West. I’ve always believed that strong relationships and finding innovative solutions is the key to success. I’m proud to lead our geotechnical and environmental department, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional results for clients. For me, it’s all about maintaining the highest standards while contributing to a better-built environment for everyone.
